A mind map is a graphical representation of topics, ideas, or concepts in a radial, non-linear manner. A mind map focuses on a central keyword or topic, with other items linked to and arranged around the central idea. Mind maps encourage a brainstorming style approach to planning and organizational tasks.
Characteristics of a Mind Map
A mind map can consist of words, images and additional rich-media content(audio, video, digital files). The arrangement or order of ideas is based on the importance of the concepts, and can be classified into groups, enforcing the relationships of the topics and their overall involvement with the central topic. The introduction of mind mapping programs such as Matchware MindView allows for better productivity from your mind mapping sessions.
By including words, images and color schemes, a Mind mapping diagram allows for greater creativity when brainstorming ideas and documenting information, or planning for a project. The arrangement of ideas and inclusion of contents enhances organization, memorization and presentation

The Origins of mind map
Although the term "mind map" was first popularized by British popular psychology author and television personality Tony Buzan, the use of diagrams that visually "map" information using branching and radial mapstraces back centuries. These pictorial methods record knowledge and model systems, and have a long history in learning, brainstorming, memory, visual thinking, and problem solving by educators, engineers, psychologists, and others. Some of the earliest examples of such graphical records were developed by Porphyry of Tyros, a noted thinker of the 3rd century, as he graphically visualized the concept categories of Aristotle. PhilosopherRamon Llull (1235–1315) also used such techniques.
The semantic network was developed in the late 1950s as a theory to understand human learning and developed further by Allan M. Collins and M. Ross Quillian during the early 1960s. Mind maps are similar in radial structure to concept maps, developed by learning experts in the 1970s, but differ in that the former are simplified by focusing around a single central key concept.
